tRev build 200: Scratch Pad, Minimize, Instances

Now you can keep a list of the handlers on which you're working:

(download)

The Scratch Pad is simply a list of links to your favorite handlers. 
  • It persists from session-to-session.
  • It is there whether in editor or browser modes.
  • It can be edited in-situ or through its editor.

NOTE: The Scratch Pad editor has been simplified and enhanced. See this post.

No longer a palette

I've made tRev's window into a standard window. It was a palette. Now you can minimize, maximize, close...all in very standard ways across both platforms. When you minimize or iconify Rev in Windows, tRev follows suit and minimizes as well. Same for un-iconifying Rev—tRev also un-iconifies.

Basic architectural revamp

I've also redone the tRev application itself and its file architecture so that...

  • You can run multiple instances of tRev/Rev pairs on the same machine.
  • There is only one components folder residing in your docs folder, not four.
  • Least-used, industry-blessed ports are now used when tRev talks with Rev.

Proxy Support

I've also added support for HTTP proxy servers in the prefs and whenever you encounter connection problems.

How to get your hands on all this goodness?
  1. Quit Revolution (and thereby tRev).
  2. Download the new tRev.app and/or tRev.exe.
  3. Download links located at the lower right of the main page on this site.
  4. Place your newly downloaded tRev.app at the same level as the Revolution.app you want to use.
  5. NOTE: that will be tRev.exe and Revolution.exe for Windows users.
  6. Fire up your new tRev and it will get your new components. 
  7. You will need your reg code for this, so have it handy in your clipboard.

Sockets alert!

tRev uses sockets to communicate with Rev

If you want to keep using tRev, do not use resetAll to close all sockets in Revolution! Just close the sockets you are using. Leave tRev's sockets alone, please. We don't want to upset the little guy, now do we? Worse case: restart tRev.
